put us back in. the larger narrative is he's a closet socialist who wants to spread this bureaucratic government ppall across the country and crush the small-business initiative and i haveitallity and it's not american. i think what he should stay back is they put us in a $3 trillion hole and 21 months wasn't enough to get out of it. you gave them eight years to dig this hole. give us four years to dig out of it-- half what you gave them-- and if it's not better you can throw us all out in two years. that is, people are angry, and you need to do it. but then i would advise him and all the democrats to talk about what we're going to do now and ask them who is more likely to do it? in other words, if this is a referendum on people's anger and apathy, so our side stays home and their side is in play, we don't do well. if it's a choice between who is going to do what, we can do well, and that's what i hope it will be. >> woodruff: but the president has been saying for some weeks, maybe months, he's been

most still tell us they approve of obama. most think the health care bill was the right thing to do. more tell us his policies are helping the economy than hurting it. so this isn't a disillusionment with obama that's... or the democratic party that's driving this. i think it's just a sense that this election the case hasn't been made this election is really important to younger voters yet. they don't say it at the same rate older folks do. >> woodruff: liz murphy, how would you respond to that? how important do you think young people see this election? and how do they respond to the president's admonition yesterday that young people need to understand it's important and he said in that interview with "rolling stone," inexcusable to sit this election out. >> i think it's unfortunate, but at least at penn state's campus there isn't this huge feeling that people need to head out and hit the polls and, you know, make their voice heard and vote. in 2008, there were two-hour wait lines to vote when obama came to speak it was like
